Re: Week 11: Rabat (Winner : Martin Klizan)

Klizan won juniors French Open in 2006. He was a top junior but I don't remember him ever being necessarily hyped to a large degree.

Hasn't Klizan got a gun junior record or something?

I still don't really think Klizan would succeed at the ATP level but he definitely deserves the shot. He's up to #106 and going deep next week in Marrakech will propel him to the top 100. He's showed he can consistently do damage in strong clay challengers so it's really time to see what he's made of.

That was so bad from Filippo outside of the first half of the second set. But he got finalist points so I can't complain. He played mediocre the entire week and had a weak draw, everything crashed and burned today.

Klizan had his shaky moments but overall, played a great match, determined, professional, and overpowered Volandri. Really good performance, my intuition was RIGHT!!!!! I predicted Klizan would take the title here, I just felt it. He's really starting to mature into a high-level player.

Klizan is just too good for most challenger mugs out there.
Guy is really turning the corner this season

Volandri getting pissed off, but this is because Klizan isn't letting him play.

Disastrous errors from Pippo. Play lacking confidence. What type of game was that? Looked like he got nervous or something, just fell apart rapidly.

Klizan only two games away from the title.

Klizan starting to get frustrated. This is the opportunity for Filippo to pounce.

Pretty bad service game from Klizan. Too many errors. Pippo is beginning to play better, more consistency.

Re: Week 11: Rabat (Entry List)

Pippo couldn't get on top of that first break point. Serve was too good from Klizan, and the lefty topspin forehand pushed Filippo back.

With another BP, hopefully Pippo can break back here.
